Verbs come in many conjugations -- the key is to remember the present tense stem, the past tense stem and the infinitive. Here is narinru 'to see', a typical nasal-stem verb.
==Phonology==


ia nariim 'I see'
Siro has the following vowels: '''a i u aa ii uu''', and diphthongs '''ai au iu ui ia ua'''.
mu narii 'you see'
uran narittan 'he/she sees'
uru narin 'it sees'
iatam nariintam 'we see'
mutam nariittam 'you see'
urantam narittantam 'they see' (animate)
uttam narintam 'they see' (inanimate)
(Notice the consistent plural suffix -tam.)


Another example: katanru 'to stand':
Its consonants are '''s r k m p t n'''. The consonant sequences rt and rn become geminated retroflex.
kataam, kataa, katattan, katan, kataantam, kataattam, katantam


The roots are narin- and katan- respectively. To form the present progressive, add the verb nirru to the root:
Siro is written in Hangul.
narinniram, narinnira, narinnirtan, narinnirta, narinnirantam, narinnirattam, narinnirtantam, narinnirtatam (I am seeing, you are seeing, ...)
katanniram, katannira, ... (I am standing, you are standing, ...)


For the past tense, in nasal root verbs, the nasal gets labialized and there is an infix -i-:

narimiim, narimii, narimitan, narimin, narimiintam, narimiittam, narimitantam, narimintam
*s-m-s: same as Hebrew n-g-d?


There are also vowel-root verbs: an example is kankaru 'to shine':
prepositions: sa- "in", ri- "above", ka- "like", ma- "from", pa- "to", ta- "through, with (instrumental)", ni- "below"


kankaram, kankara, kankatan, kanka, kankarantam, kankarattam, kankatantam, kankatam (in present)
==Grammar==
kankaniram, kankanira, kankanirtan, ... (in present progressive)
kankappam, kankappa, kankaptan, kankapan, ... (in past)


Some verbs are irregular, as in pahttaru 'to eat':

patram, patra, pahttatan, pahtta, ... (present)
''asminu'' = I remember
pahtaniram, ... (present progressive)
